OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Hello Everyone

I am looking for some opinions on what I should do regarding parts, as I have noticed wear etc. This is what my work bench looks like.




Now...

1. I used a bench grinder and wire wheel to clean off the rust from the front roller. For me, hot dipped galvanising would be the perfect choice to protect the steel roller and to stop it from rusting. Only might have to drill a hole in the side somewhere, so it can be hung by some wire.



2. Sprockets look really good, from the images does it look like any of them need replacing?







3. The shaft that goes through the front roller has been badly worn, as dirt has got in-between the end caps, causing abrasion and wear at both ends. These need replacing?




4. I already figured out that I need a new 3/4 inch clutch to match the PTO of my 3hp Briggs that has a 3/4" crankshaft installed. This is what the original 5/8" clutch and keyway looks like... I also need to replace bearings on the cutter, should the shield washers be a cone shape as show, think they need replacing too.





Lastly, I have been fortunate enough only to find only one prominent crack around a bolt hole on the front rail, as it is a lot thicker than the rear one, some small welds should suffice.





About to try ordering parts from this site. Any comments or observations will be much appreciated!
